Birding Field Trips

 

Most Thursdays: 8:30 AM at Des Peres City Park on Ballas Road, one block north of Manchester Rd. Contact: Jackie Chain.

Sunday bird walks may be half day or all day at the discretion of the leader. If you think you want to continue after lunch please bring lunch and drink or be prepared to grab some fast food. If you only want to do a half day you can always drop out whenever you wish whether the group goes on after lunch or not. Of course you can also continue to enjoy birding on your own if the leader chooses to do only a half day.
